ap/cups-2.0.3-x86_64-1.txz
This release fixes bugs and a couple of security issues:
CWE-911: Improper Update of Reference Count - CVE-2015-1158
This bug could allow an attacker to upload a replacement CUPS
configuration file and mount further attacks.
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation
(Cross-site Scripting) - CVE-2015-1159
A cross-site scripting bug in the CUPS templating engine allows this
bug to be exploited when a user browses the web. In certain cases,
the CGI template can echo user input to file rather than escaping the
text first. This may be used to set up a reflected XSS attack in
the QUERY parameter of the web interface help page.

(* Security fix *)

n/bind-9.10.2_P2-x86_64-1.txz
This update fixes a security issue where an attacker who can cause
a validating resolver to query a zone containing specifically constructed
contents can cause that resolver to fail an assertion and terminate due
to a defect in validation code. This means that a recursive resolver that
is performing DNSSEC validation can be deliberately stopped by an attacker
who can cause the resolver to perform a query against a
maliciously-constructed zone. This will result in a denial of service to
clients who rely on that resolver.

(* Security fix *)

n/ntp-4.2.8p3-x86_64-1.txz
This update fixes a security issue where under specific circumstances an
attacker can send a crafted packet to cause a vulnerable ntpd instance to
crash. Since this requires 1) ntpd set up to allow remote configuration
(not allowed by default), and 2) knowledge of the configuration password,
and 3) access to a computer entrusted to perform remote configuration,
the vulnerability is considered low-risk.
